Hi Benny. In Orwell's Animal Farm it's human heads that would be displayed. I am sure the meat would be delicious for some folk but not for me. Blood pudding is as far as I am prepared to go. But it does make a fascinating photo. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Benny,
Pigs cheeks are nowadays regarded as a delicacy and served in the finest restaurants even in our part of the world, so maybe you made a mistake to skip this dish. But while you enjoyed the more normal sliced snake with mushrooms you got yourself a catchy photo. I think these faces look like some kind of smilies.
Best wishes,
Gert

I spotted a lot of exotic food in Hunan and later in Yunnan. I saw many thing that I wouldn't dare to try. These pig faces look rather funny. Better than grilled scorpions and larvae. Your Chinese is rusty - did you speak more? I tried to learn a bit but it was useless with pinyin and too difficult with the signs.

Dag Benny In my french-canadian language, 'tête de cochon' means pig's head, bad qualifying of a stubborn character! I saw once Pekin laquored ducks but never pig heads and believe me, I don't feel like trying soon this exotic dish! Thanks for the original oddity! Groeten
